The magnificent male Indian Blue Peacock has a long train of beautiful feathers, with eye spots, brown, yellow and green with black center, brilliant blue feathers on the body, green iridescent plumage and beautiful yellows, and grey feet. The male (peacock) Indian Peafowl has beautiful iridescent blue-green or green coloured plumage. The so-called “tail” of the peacock, also termed the “train”, is not the tail quill feathers but highly elongated upper tail coverts. The train feathers have a series of eyes that are best seen when the tail is fanned.

This image was taken in Lahaina on Maui 02 May 2008 72.0 dpi / Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6 / Metering Mode Evaluative Metering / White balance compensation B1 M1 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / ISO Speed 200 The Moluccan Cockatoo, Cacatua moluccensis, also known as Salmon-crested Cockatoo, is a cockatoo endemic to south Moluccas in eastern Indonesia. At 50 cm, it is the largest of the white cockatoos. The female is larger than the males on average. It has white-pink feathers with a definite peachy glow, a slight yellow on the underwing and underside of the tail feathers and a large retractable recumbent crest which it raises when threatened, revealing hitherto concealed bright red-orange plumes to frighten potential attackers (may also be raised in excitement, or other ‘emotional’ displays). It also has one of the louder calls in the parrot world and in captivity is a capable mimic. In the wild the Moluccan Cockatoo inhabits lowland forests below 1000m. The diet consists mainly of seeds, nuts and fruit, as well as coconuts The Moluccan Cockatoo can no longer be imported into the United States because it is listed on the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they are being bred in captivity. Potential owners should be fully aware of the husbandry requirements of the species. The Moluccan Cockatoo is widely considered to be the most demanding parrot to keep as a pet. A typical Moluccan Cockatoo needs around eight hours of daily attention from its caregiver to keep it happy. As with most large cockatoos, the Moluccan Cockatoo develops health and behavioral problems such as feather-plucking and aggression if not provided with the appropriate environment, attention, and enrichment opportunities. / Information Source: Wikipedia

All rights reserved Beautiful Art and Greeting Cards For Sale ~ Shop securely and view my collection here Featured Art 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Group Avatar 30 May 2009 Colour Me Vibrant Red Featured Art The Woman Photographer This beautiful boy is one of Bud Clifton’s show birds. You may find him at the beautiful botanical gardens along the Hana Highway in Puohokamoa Valley called The Garden of Eden Maui Hawai’i . Bud calls him Rufus, (Rufus McDuffus). It is such a silly name for such a beautiful bird. I visit the birds about once a month. They are all so sweet. They are also free and so well cared for and trained they do not fly off into the rainforest. Bud loves his beautiful birds. According to him, Rufus was once a circus performer flying through burning hoops and walking on tight ropes. Bud rescued him and now he has a lovely life of leisure delighting the children and families as they exit the beautiful botanical gardens. Bud will take your photo with his birds using your camera for a small fee. It is a sensational show and I know you will love it. The next time you pop in to say Aloha to Bud tell him Jacob and Sharon Mau said Howzit! Easily distinguished from amazons and cockatoos by their bare facial patch and long pointed tail, the Macaw family comprises one of the most extravagantly coloured in the bird world. There are several variations of the Scarlet, most notably an uncommon variety with emerald green on the wing along with the yellow, and the more common wide patch of yellow. Their declining populations in the wild continues to cause great concern for tropical environmentalists. They are flamboyant, colourful, and captivating birds. Their personalities are legendary. Because of their great beauty and engaging personalities, they have been kept in captivity for centuries. In fact, in the United States, they were kept by the Pueblo Indians since 1100 A.D. where they prized the Scarlet Macaw.

An abstract architecture type design done in various shades and heights of pastel panels which are expressed in various color schemes to best accent the natural peacock feathers. These are actual feathers left behind as the peacock molts or sheds his entire tail. This artwork reflects the basic lines, texture, depth and luminosity of the shadowed panels with just a touch of vibrant black to better draw attention to the beauty of the impressive clear vase and still life arrangement sanding in this beautiful crystal vase which brings even more interest to the total effect. Not only do the panels provide a striking background for the décor, they provide a stand / base for the mix of glass and / or crystal to reflect the shapes and colors in this rare and unusual combination.
